Thanks. That's what I was looking for. Although it's not easy for the untrained eye to discover the values of stored variables, they are obviously there if you look hard enough.
I would like to null out the values of variables as the script come to an end so they cannot be read by an intruder (set privatevariable to ""), but certain types of UI routines prevent me from doing it. For example, "choose folder/file" has a Cancel button that I can't deactivate, and if the user hits that button, the script ends while leaving the variable un-erased. Suggestions?
